That bird watching room sounds like an interesting place.<br /><br />When I need a break, if it's not winter, I often go to a bird refuge down the road from our house.

And sometimes I'll stop and watch people go buy or have their conversations. I'm not super outgoing so I don't often strike up conversations with people I haven't met, but if you sit there long enough, those people usually come to you and start talking anyway :)Cindy R.
